Pastels are packing a powerful style punch these days! They look amazing when combined with neutrals, animal print, and lots of metal hardware. It’s best to toughen up barely-there pastel hues, as to avoid looking like a freshly dyed Easter egg. Experiment with color & texture – pastels are all about bringing the fun back to your winter wardrobe!
Some of my favorite picturesque portrayals of the pastel trend:

Now that we are 3 days into 2012, it’s time to get seriously cracking on those resolutions! They can be personal (weight loss, money gain) or broad (to watch less reality TV), but there is no doubt that resolutions put good energy out there for the whole month of January! Here are some ideas if you’re still stumped:

Model, mom, and wife of Orlando Bloom- this Victoria’s Secret Angel has pretty much everything going for her, and we can’t help but love her! As one of the few models who can go from commercial to high fashion at the drop of a hat, Miranda has solidified her spot on the fashion hierarchy. From her risky red carpet choices that always seem to hit just the right note, to her awesome airport style, Miranda’s style savvy comes in her ability to be event-appropriate at all times. She nails casual-chic, rocks the runway, and sexpots it up for her VS promotional events – all while maintaining her signature laid-back Aussie charm and doe-eyed dominance over everyone in the room. A perfect choice for our Monday Muse!
Which Miranda look is your favorite?

Good Morning! We’re back with another round of Monday’s Muse, this time featuring the impeccable Olivia Palermo. Love her or hate her, one thing’s clear: the girl knows how to put together a chic outfit like nobody’s business. The key to Olivia’s styling savvy is all about the layers – a plain tee gets a glam overhaul when worn with a layer of sequins, and I can’t name another celeb who makes army green look as fancy as a couture gown.
Some of my favorite OP looks…
Style Tip: Infuse classic menswear-inspired looks by choosing items with feminine touches. I’m in love with the cigarette pants paired with a trench coat that gets its glamour from pleats and a tie-neck. So romantic!
Style Tip: Don’t be afraid to wear colorful gems with a patterned dress! Just keep them in the same color palette, and accessorize the rest of your look with neutrals. Love the tan bag and booties and glimmering belt!
Style Tip: For a dramatic impact, mix up textures but keep the color palette monochromatic. The delicate lace dress and ruffled coat are both stunning in shades of sheer blush, especially together!
Style Tip: Utilize a blinged-out clutch, rocker red nails, and a smoky eye for balancing out a girly dress.
Style Tip: Mix it up with texture! Leather, suede, knits – why not wear it all at once? Neutrals keep it organized, not overwhelming.
Style Tip: Army green is a timeless shade that looks lovely with a punch of floral and black as a base.
Style Tip: Don’t overaccessorize – you can get maximum impact with only a few pieces! I’m obsessed with the way Olivia picks a circle motif on her necklace and clutch that keeps the look sleek while still being playful.
What’s your favorite look from Miss Palermo? Are you digging her European chic street style?
